    measuring a different spot on your body, even just slightly different, can cause inconsistencies in your numbers. So that's one possibility.

    Did you measure yourself? That is a really hard way to get your accurate measurement. Have someone else do it for you...

    I only went back a few days in your diary, and it was blank.

    How much are you eating per day?

    my guess is a combination of mismeasurement and potentially some water retention currently. Do your pants feel tighter? If not, then there's no way you gained an inch on your hips.

    If you gained 2 inches around your waist you would definitely feel it in your pants. How are they fitting? if the same or looser than it's a matter of measurement error.

    Body recomposition can be a b!tch.

    Take pictures, that is often the best way to judge your progress. Measurements can be deceptive.
